To all whom t may concer/n.-

Be it known that LvGEoEGE F. WHITE, of Frankford, Philadelphia, State ofPennsylvania, have invented Va new and useful Improvement in MakingWooden Printing-Types, of which the following is a specication.

Heretof'ore such types have been made by chiseling away the superiiuouswood. This method is objectionable because of the expense The method ofconstruction consists in sawing through a board on a bevel in suchmanner as to produce type for printing, and projecting the type soproduced.

The process by which these types are manufactured is covered by myPatent No. 210,229.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- Wooden types theigure of which, corresponding in outline with the printingsurface, isshaped with its sides at an obtuse angle Wit-hits printing-face, and ispartlyprojected above and held in a board or block provided with acorrespondinglybeveled opening of the shape of the said ligure,substantially as described.
